Newbie to this forum, ordered my new Red Apple R1200R today after a test ride. Looking to pick her up in the next couple of weeks, it will be a big change from my Buell XB12Scg.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects handlebars to the saddle.

Bike collected yesterday and a fun filled 60 mile first ride in heavy showers. First service booked in just over a week, then the real enjoyment can begin.

I took a test ride from Wollaston in Northampton but ended up buying from North Oxford, as I got a better deal, and Wollaston did not bother getting back to me with a price on my part ex.

Re: Newbie
Interesting. I bought from Woolaston, and to this day, every time I have been back in there just to browse or have a coffee, the salesman that sold me my bike has never even bothered to say hello to me. When I was a Triumph man, every salesman in the store knew me on first name terms, and ALWAYS said hello when I went in.xbpod wrote:Wollaston in Northampton but ended up buying from North Oxford, as I got a better deal, and Wollaston did not bother getting back to me with a price on my part ex.zei220 wrote:Are you based in the uk?

I think Woolaston, or rather this particular salesman, could learn a lot.
Just my pennies worth
